TIE preliminary work in the sur

Northern railroad is still being dill
gently prosecuted at the Dodgeville
end of the line for the purpose Of
definitely determining the location
of the line at It's entrance into the

been made-one which brings it IN
on the south side of town, aud two
which would bring it on the north.
From what we are able 10 learn con
corning the determination of the
engineers at this early stage of the
preliminary work, the Indications
are that the entrance into the village
from the south side of town will
have To be abandoned as imprac

A SILENT TELEPHONE.
The Wonderfully Ingenious Invention of .
Pittsburgh Genius

Pittsburgh Genius
A few favored gentlemen who were
gathered in the private Office of Mr.
George Westinghouse the other after
noon witnessed test of n new telt.-
phonie appliance which is far more
wonderful than the telephone now in
use 1t was being exhibited by Mr..
Lowth. the inventor. One of those
who were present gave description of
IL without going into technicalities-
1t is a very simple contriyanee and
may not inappropriately be termed
dumb telephone. as it has no transmit
ter. properly speaking. the converse
ton being carried on by means of
receiver alone. Attached to the reeeiv-
ing tube, which is shaped somewhat
single wire to the end of which is SEN
sitive little appliance which presses
against the larynx and glands of the
neck, and as the jaws are moved in
conversation the motion sends the
words spoken along the wire rs dis
tinctly as the telephone now in use. and
it IS claimed even more distinctly
There is no necessity for yelling at the
man at the other end of the line, and
no use for it. as there Is no receiver to
shout into, and. as will be seen by the
above description of the contrivance,
the sound and words are conveyed by
the gentlest motion of the jaws.
The operation of the new telephone
is wonderful in the extreme. and all
who saw it express their astonishment
To one of these the inventor turned
and said that it was far less wonderful
than the mode of conversation he had
witnessed in 4 New England town sew
eral years since This conversation,
he stated, had given him the ide:.
/ which led to the invention. and is took
place between a man who was deaf,
dumb and blind and one of his rela-
tives. These two conversed. he said.
by placing the-fips of their fingers on
each others neck in the precise locality
where the little instrument in use ON
his telephone touches. and by this
means the two would converse rs intel
ligbly, so far as they were concerned.
